Item: 19 Description: CD 162 H.G. CO. (070 – Variant) Bright Orange Amber. I’m calling this a variant to the EIN because of how low on the skirt PATENT MAY 2 1893 is embossed. This is NOT a transition embossed piece, as the H.G. CO. embossing has been moved higher to allow for the patent date, rather than having the patent date squeezed in below the name. In View 4, compare the embossing on this piece (on left) with Item 20 with the normal (070) EIN on the right. On transition molds I’ve measured, the original embossing is 9.5 millimeters from the base on both the front and back. One this one, the H.G. CO. is 12 millimeters off the base while PETTICOAT is the original 9.5 millimeters. Grade B: Two flaked drip points; nibbles at the start of threads; ping on top the dome; and a shallow half-inch bruise in the lower skirt as visible in View 3 at about the 8:00 o’clock position. This is also a heavy insulator, weighing three ounces more than other H.G. CO. signals in this auction. Estimate: $300 - $400 Open: $190 Price realized: $260 |
